Kudoa septempunctata is a recently identified cause of food poisoning. We report three cases of food poisoning due to ingestion of this parasite.
Among the 358 people exposed during the same catered meal, 94 (including our 3 patients) developed vomiting and diarrhea within 1-9 h after ingestion of raw muscle from contaminated aquacultured olive flounders (Paralichthys olivaceus). These symptoms occurred frequently but were temporary; only 1 patient was hospitalized for dehydration and was discharged 2 days later.
In Japan, cases of food poisoning due to eating olive flounder have increased during recent years. This increase should prompt heightened awareness among clinicians diagnosing food poisoning.
七斑库道虫是最近发现的食物中毒病因。我们报告了三例因摄入这种寄生虫而导致的食物中毒病例。
在同一次餐饮活动中暴露的358人中，94人（包括我们的3名患者）在摄入受污染养殖牙鲆（Paralichthys olivaceus）的生鱼肉后1 - 9小时内出现呕吐和腹泻。这些症状频繁出现但为暂时性；仅有1名患者因脱水住院，2天后出院。
在日本，近年来因食用牙鲆导致食物中毒的病例有所增加。这种增加应促使临床医生在诊断食物中毒时提高警惕。
